There is a place on the wrong side of town It's a curse whenever I go And I have to forget that the thoughts in my head Let me down, I want you to know Now I don't know ya, but you are my jailer I've sentanced by the jury below Now it scares me to death And I just cannot let this cage they put over me Don't drag the river I hear the voices on the ground Don't drag the river I go to sleep without a sound You can turn out the daylight I'll be gone in the morning You can try to burn down the sun I gotta make you believe That I did not deceive No, I did not hurt anyone You can make me slave You can make me a number But I'm not the one who lied Cos they threw away the key And it just cannot be In this cage that they put over me Don't drag the river I hear the voices on the ground Don't drag the river I go to sleep without a sound I'm in a state of madness I panic in my head They're gonna pull me under No matter what I said I taste the fear inside me I'm gonna break my vow And now the hound is callin' It's gonna take me down Taste the fear inside me I'm gonna break my vow And now the hound is callin' Take me down I hear the voices on the ground I go to sleep without a sound Drag the river I hear the voices on the ground Don't drag the river I go to sleep without a sound River I hear the voices on the ground Don't drag the river I go to sleep without a sound Don't drag the river (repeat)
